Idea: Documentation Enhancement - Add Screenshots/Visual Examples to Code Samples

[erhanurgun]

Documentation Enhancement Suggestion

Problem

Currently, the Filament documentation is comprehensive and well-written, but it would be even more helpful if code examples were accompanied by screenshots showing the visual output.

Example

For instance, on this page: https://filamentphp.com/docs/4.x/actions/modals#using-a-slide-over-instead-of-a-modal

The code example shows how to implement a slide-over modal, but developers would benefit greatly from seeing what the final result actually looks like before implementing it.

Proposal

Add screenshots or GIFs next to code examples throughout the documentation to show:

• What the component/feature looks like in action
• The expected visual output
• Different states (hover, active, etc.)
• Responsive behavior when relevant

Benefits

• Faster Learning: Developers can quickly see if a component matches their needs
• Better Understanding: Visual examples help clarify complex concepts
• Reduced Trial & Error: Less time spent implementing code just to see what it looks like
• Improved DX: Enhanced developer experience overall

Questions for Discussion

• Would this be valuable to the community?
• What sections of the documentation would benefit most from screenshots?
• Should we use static images, GIFs, or interactive demos?
• Could the community help contribute screenshots?

I believe this enhancement would make Filament's already excellent documentation even better!
